SADDLE-SPRING.

Speccaton of Letters Patent No. 20, dated August 31, 1836.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM DUCI-IMAN, of Morgantown, in the county of Berks and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement on Springs for Saddles, which is described as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings of the same, making part of this specifica tion.

This improvement is designed to obviate the defects experienced in Mr. Beards spring, and consists in having the frame containing the spring made in twol parts instead of one, the second part being made movable by screws designed to tighten the web, and regulate the spring when settled down or sagged by long use, without being obliged to tear the saddle to pieces or substitute a new spring.

Drawing No. 2. represents Beards spring in which A, is the frame, and B, the spring.

Drawing No. 1 represents my improveing the screws, the web can be tightened at pleasure. L

That I claim as my invention, and for which I desire to secure Letters Patent consists in- The addition of the two screws for raising the webbing when required.

WILLIAM DUCHMAN.
